AI Article Synopsis
- Psychological safety means feeling safe to take risks and speak up at work without being afraid of getting punished.
- In health care, when this safety is low, it can lead to mistakes that can harm patients.
- Leaders play a big role in creating psychological safety by encouraging team participation and responding positively to their staff's ideas and concerns.
Article Abstract
Psychological safety refers to an individual's experience of the work environment as conducive to interpersonal risk-taking without risk for reprisals. Fear of reprisals has been well documented in health care, including in Sweden. In the literature and our teaching, we have consistently found that when psychological safety is low, it can lead providers to violate the basic tenet "first, do no harm". Psychological safety resides at the team level. It is established and maintained by the leader. Several contributing leadership qualities and behaviors have been identified. Leaders can train how to support psychological safety by how they choose to set the stage, invite participation, and respond productively when they interact with their staff. Leaders may experience this as challenging and anxiety-provoking. However, leaders need to actively improve psychological safety in care teams to support learning, improvement, and co-creation in health and care.

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the most widely used herbicides in the United States, accounting for 19% of estimated global use. Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reaffirmed that the active ingredient glyphosate (GLY) is safe for humans, recent studies on exposure have suggested association with cancer, metabolic disorders, endocrine disruption and infertility, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and psychological disorders. Current literature on the effects of GLY exposure on reproductive function suggests potential clinical implications on women's reproductive health, including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, infertility, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Recognizing masked faces is a challenge. Researchers have explored congruency-based approaches to improve face matching, with promising results. Here, we investigated whether congruency between the encoding and the retrieval conditions can improve masked face recognition when only the eyes are visible under conditions of high and low memory load.

Sex-related differences in ABI outcomes necessitate focused research due to potential heightened risk and distinct physiological responses among females.
Objectives: This pilot study aims to explore fluid-based biomarkers for neurological injury and inflammation in females experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV)-related assaults to the head, neck, or face.
Screening and patient selection for bone-anchored limb implantation and rehabilitation: what makes a good candidate?

Osseointegration of a bone-anchored limb (BAL) is an emerging rehabilitation technique that offers significant advantages over traditional socket prostheses. By addressing functional limitations and recurrent cutaneous complications, BAL systems have shown an 82%-90% increase in daily prosthesis use among patients, who also report improvements in functional ability, balance, comfort, and overall quality of life. Despite these benefits, the process of patient selection for BAL remains underdeveloped, with evidence-based guidelines still in their infancy.
